I don't know the details of how decision is made on how many project
slots a GSoC organization will get, but in earlier GSoC (see Git Wiki)
we get 2 to 6 projects (IIRC).

One limitation is number of possible mentors.

Well... I hope Git gets more slots this year! :) Do you know whether there
were so many proposals in previous GSoC's?

BTW. according to Google Summer of Code FAQ there can be more than one
student working on the same project.  Though IIRC it never happened in
history of Git participation in GSoC, isn't it?

That's awesome! I didn't know about that.

This is a good news. If this can actually happen there is no problem
for student "clustering" on certain proposals. I think this is good
for git. Take the  "Designing a faster index format" as an example,
students comes with different formats. Perhaps they may work better in
various cases. This gives more options to git. And more chance for
students to get involved for sure.
